Excerpt:
...In October of 2004, The Yerba Buena Center for the
Arts in San Francisco will present an exhibition of
photography and photography-based collage. The work,
some of which is being shown for the first time, was
created by seventeen artists, many who have been recognised
as Outsider artists for their work in other mediums,
such as sculpture and painting. The exhibition, Create
And Be Recognized, Photography On The Edge is accompanied
by a Chronicle book publication of the same name.

Though works by folk artists and trained artists have
been examined for similarities (in the book Provocative
Parallels by Jean Lipman) and the same for Outsiders
and Visionaries in the Los Angeles County Museum’s Parallel
Visions exhibit, only one exhibit has paired photography
by Outsiders (Lee Godie, Morton Bartlett and Eugene
Von Bruenchenhein) with established photographers like
Cindy Sherman, Harry Callahan and Hans Bellmer. The
exhibit, titled Identify and Desire, was curated
by David Syrek and Jessica Moss and shown at Intuit
in Chicago, Illinois.
